5th Gen PRNG Help / Info - Latest: RNG Reporter 9.96.5, PPRNG 1.15.0

Just a quick question...

Just started to try and RNG...I have calibrated my DS and everything seems to be ok and I hit my seeds...but the IVs I get don't match with what they are supposed to be. However I have gotten the same IVs for the same date...

Is this a problem with my timer0? I have tried calibrating 4 times and it keeps switching from C7F to C80. Shall I keep trying to calibrate until I find one that is the most consistent...or is it another problem?

Thanks in advance. Just don't want to be wasting my time doing something I don't have to if it's a simple problem :)

Calibrating doesn't change anything; it's just a way to see what your game/DS combination does. Your Timer0 problems are something you just have to work around, you're stuck with them.

In my White game I get half C7F and half C80. So when searching for seeds in that game I search for both, and if I can't hit one on a particular day, I switch to a seed using the other. However my Black game is always hitting the same seed for me.

You just have to live with what you've got. You might have better luck RNGing for C80 seeds if your game keeps switching to that timer0 value.

Thanks :)

It was just a case of failing and retrying but I did manage it eventually.
Str0ngbad has helped me out greatly and talked me through some of the things that was going wrong and I understand everything much better now.

The people on the thread are actually really helpful. Makes a change to find nice people on the Internet ;D

I am facing also an unstable timer0 value. So, my advice out of experience is to "Generate Adjacent Seeds (Current Frame)" systematically. To do so, just right click on your wanted seed in "4th/5th Generation Time Finder" window, inside "Capture" tab. You should get IVs for +/- one second and +/- one timer0 (leading to 3*3=9 seeds). If you are off by one second starting the game, or if your timer0 is unfriendly, you should find the IVs you got among these. Otherwise, there is another problem...
 
I have a problem that has me totally confounded. I've been trying to help Biosci to get his Shiny Egg Finder working and we've ironed out all sorts of kinks from keypresses to DWDitto incompatibility and even restarted RNG Reporter a few times for the hell of it and yet he still can't get any results, even from a search with next to no qualifications. I figured it was probably his SID, so I gave his ID/SID a shot and it worked fine. I have now entered everything exactly as he had it from both the Shiny Egg Finder tab and his Parameters tab and there is no problem for me. What could I be missing that's keeping him from getting results?
 
Like Stongbad said, I'm in need of help. I'm imputing some of the easiest requirements for an egg and I still get absolutely nothing. What could be happening here?
 
Look at Strongbad's profile. The parameter picks are there in a link. I have picks of my search on a link above.

I MIGHT have a solution, it's what I do for egg searches.
It's going to require a lot more work on your part though. Not abuse work, searching work.

I also suggest trying to find a way to make it an international breed, as there are a lot more shinies when you do it that way.

So you go to the captures tab, set the method to Method 5 Standard Seed, Gift Pokemon. Set the min/max IV frame to 8.
Set 3 to 4 of the IV's that you want, I usually do just 3. In this case you could do 4 as you don't need the attacking stat to be all that important. I did 3 just as an example and to get a few seeds very rapidly.

After you're satisfied with how many results came up.
Copy + paste the Full Seed into the main window of RNG reporter after selecting Breeding (BW) / Breeding (BW, International).
Check mark DW only and shiny only.

Set the starting frame to about 40 for now.

After that, look for the correct inheritance from the different parents to yield the correct IV spread you're looking for.

Actually the issue is that I'm literally getting no results for my Shiny Egg finder.

WZ's suggesting you use the capture tab rather than shiny egg finder. It would be way more work but it would be something at least. I'm curious whether it would work or not. The strangest thing is I copied everything down from his windows into mine and ran the searches just fine.

Oh I see O_O

My method goes around that, as if it says it's shiny in the captures tab, there is a good chance there will be a shiny egg there too. For instance the second spread of the picture I posted above said frame 130 for the wild shiny.

Breeding (Non-international [All shinies, no limitations])

With this way, you don't need the shiny egg finder tab at all. True it takes more work, but less trouble. I've never been able to get that thing to work since OD released it.

For the moment I think I'll just try and hit the seed that Strongbad gave me for it. I'll remember that when I breed the calm one of these.
 
My Timer0 is equal to C7F.
By how much would it fluctuate and what are the possible values?

Edit:

It does fluctuate to C7E, which is more often occuring so I placed C7E to Min/Max Timer0 and got what I wanted.

Can someone help me?
I am a beginner with RNG.. and this is what i have so far.

- PPRNG (For mac)
- DSi

This means i have to do C-Gear method.

I have watched the whole vid, but kinda got lost when hearing this:

He is talking about finding your own personal seeds and click on Find Timer

- I cant find this on PPRNG (I know he is useing a diffrent version but it says in the first page i can do everything on the PPRNG aswell)


If someone here has Expercience with RNGing on Mac only
could you please tell me your expercience on how you learned it?
 
Hey, Can you still RNG if you have a flashcart AND a DSLITE? like wait a couple seconds before so you can hit exact just like a regular NDSCARTLIGE

It depends on your flashcart.I know that you can on cyclods,although it will take some time because timer0 is floating a lot.Don't know about other flashcarts,though
 
If I were to do Wild Pokemon Capture Standard Seed Abuse, how would I do it?

Does Sweet Scent advance the IV Frame or the PID Frame?
How can I locate my initial PID Frame?

Sweet Scent doesn't advance anything. And the RNG Reporter calculates your starting frame, just enter your seed, and then hit Calculate Initial PID RNG, that's your starting frame.
 
As usual, you're still a great help to everyone Buckert. :D

For example, I have a starting PID Frame of 48 and a target frame of 239, does that mean I need to do 191 Chatot Chatters?

*I'm just starting out and I'm not sure if the Chatot Chatters mean that you go to the Summary Page of Chatot with a Chatter learned through the DS Microphone*

Edit:

NVM, finally got it! :D

I just have one problem about breeding. I can't seem to get any results when I search. Is it because the "Shiny" option is set to default?
